Rental Revenue and Rental Property Operating Expenses
Due to acquisitions of real estate we made during the six months ended June 30, 2023, our rental revenues and rental property operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not comparable. However, certain properties in our portfolio were owned for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and are further discussed below in “Same-Property Results of Operations.”
Income from Commercial Mortgage Loans
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, income from commercial mortgage loans increased $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in comparison to the corresponding period in 2023, due to the acquisition of a commercial mortgage loan in March 2024 as well as additional fundings on commercial mortgage loans in 2024.
General and Administrative Expenses
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, general and administrative expenses increased by $283 thousand and $22 thousand in comparison to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily attributable to an increase in deferred tax expense.
Advisory Fee Due to Affiliates
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the advisory fee due to affiliates decreased by $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023 due to decrease in our NAV.
Depreciation and Amortization
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in comparison to the corresponding period in 2023 primarily due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized in 2023.
Realized and Unrealized (Loss) Gain from Real Estate-Related Securities
Realized and unrealized (loss) gain from real estate-related securities changed $(3.2) million from a gain of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to a loss of $(0.9) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Realized and unrealized (loss) gain from real estate-related securities changed $(8.1) million from a gain of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to a loss of $(2.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily driven by less favorable market conditions.
Realized and Unrealized Gain from Real Estate Debt
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, realized and unrealized gain from real estate debt decreased by $0.6 million, in comparison to the corresponding period in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, realized and unrealized gain from real estate debt increased by $1.7 million, in comparison to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily due to strong performance of CMBS in the first quarter of 2024.
Loss from Equity Investments in Unconsolidated International Affiliated Funds
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, loss from equity investments in unconsolidated International Affiliated Funds decreased by $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, primarily driven by valuation increases in the office and logistics markets for ECF and APCF.
